Scar Removal (also known as scar revision) is a surgical procedure that can minimize a scar’s appearance by harmonizing it into the skin, usually following a traumatic injury. The goal is to make the scar as inconspicuous as possible and blend it in with the surrounding skin. Poor healing creates unsightly and more obvious scars depending on their size and location.
As a reconstructive process, scar removal can reform a scar’s appearance and enhance the skin’s function. The recommendation is to wait a year after scarring. If you need Scar Removal in Mimai we can help address aesthetic issues related to your scar at Zuri Plastic Surgery of Miami.

Z-plasty can alter your scar to conform to your skin’s natural lines and creases and make it more inconspicuous. Created in a “Z” pattern, this technique works well for scars with symptoms such as contracted, depressed, linear, pincushion-like, raised, or webbed. A Z-plasty can remove an old scar to create new incisions on each side of triangular skin flaps.
W-plasty can decrease the appearance of your scar with several triangles cut along both sides of it. The zigzag pattern constructs an irregular broken line which reflects light in a poor manner that makes it more difficult to see the original scar. It is not used for longer scars.
Skin grafting takes scar tissue away and replaces it with healthy skin from a donor site, another part of your body. The transferred skin connects with your blood vessels and scar tissue.
Tissue expansion is an inflatable balloon that is placed under your skin near your scar and allows a sterile solution to be added to fill it in. This technique stretches your healthy skin until the scar tissue can be removed.
Flap surgery - involving the skin and its underlying fat, blood vessels and muscles from a strong, healthy part of your body to the new targeted site.
There are other options depending on what your specific situation calls for. There are a number of surface treatments that can smooth irregularities and decrease pigmentation.
Everyone heals differently when it comes to scarring. Multiple factors including age, health, and the location of an injury, each play a role in the visibility and healing of scars. A scar revision can improve or alter the look of your scar reducing it's appearance significantly.
